NBA Live 10 Patch Release Plans
by 
NBA Live 10’s lead gameplay designer Mike Wang has mentioned plans for the first patch on Twitter. The patch is slated to release the first week of November. In order to meet that timetable it will probably be submitted for certification by the end of next week.
Rather than put the patch out right away EA has decided to hold back a bit to incorporate more consumer feedback. So, as I did with my impressions, there is the opportunity to express your thoughts on issues and possibly see them acted upon.
The manual backdown mechanic has been confirmed ready for the patch. Hopefully there will be some adjustments to the contact animations when shooting in traffic and improvements made to fast breaks. Feel free to discuss what you would like to see in the first patch for NBA Live 10 in the comments.

Maybe it's just me, but I'd like to see a more realistic starting lineup introduction. Where they introduce the starters (height, college, etc.) one by one, just like in a real NBA game. The starting lineup introduction right now, in my opinion, sucks.
Another thing, the faces need to be a bit more realistic. I'd doubt it if they're able to fix that now.
The Online fatigue right now is a joke, I picked up the slider, yet none of the starters energy ever went down. That has to be fixed.
There definitely has to be more fouls counted. No shooting fouls, no reach-in fouls, etc. that's not right.

Hmmm… I am the only one to notice that the fouls are called pretty rarely?? Oh, And the CPU controlled team doesn't call timeouts…

the lakers staples center looks great but they changed the 4 sided shot clock to those new flat ones like the celtics,heat,bulls and others who have those.That will make it look much more accurate and look fantastic..

The only real problem I have noticed so far is with fouling. I have 2 issues with it actually.
The first is basically that the CPU practically never gets called for shooting fouls, or really any other type of foul for that matter. I have tried turning the slider up to hopefully get more fouls called. I play as the Cavs, and although I do not abuse LeBron (I use the team like they actually play, LeBron averages about 30 pts a game so far) I have only gotten to the line a couple of times (no more than 3 total).
The second issue I have, which is not a huge deal, is that the foul is generally called before it actually happens. Again, this is not a huge issue, just a minor annoyance.

Another issue that I just noticed is how easy it is to stop a fast break. While it is much better than last year, it is still too easy. If someone steals the ball from you and starts running, all you have to do is run into them and they slow down and change course. I don't know if something like that is really possible to fix in a patch, but it would be nice.
One other thing is during late game full court presses, the CPU doesn't seem to actually play the press. They have the defenders on the inbound, but once you get the ball in they just back up with your player rather than try to stop him.

One thing I would like to see fixed is the player rotations. Basically it would be nice if you could assign one player to more than one position, and have situational rotations (ie. late game, up by 30 pts, 3rd string). It would also be nice to be able to have more players on the active roster for the games.

Accidently passing the ball backcourt should be turned off/disabled. Realistically, that just does not happen hardley ever in the NBA anyway. Fadeaways could be improved but that probably won't be till next year. The repetitive out of bounds animation needs to be tweaked and also the loosing the ball in the paint after a spin move animation as well. Other than that, the game is very good.
October 11, 2009 at 6:43 am
WELL PEOPLE I HAVE BEEN PLAYING THE GAME ALL DAY AND NIGHT SENSE I AM ON VACATION BUT ANYWAY THERE ARE 5 THINGS THAT NEED PATCHED AND I MEAN BADLY. #1 ON DEFENSE THE PLAYERS DONT JUMP AND CONTEST JUMP SHOTS SOMETIMES THEY JUST STAND THERE AND LET THEM SHOT THE BALL THIS IS MAINLY PLAYING ONLINE I THINK ITS BECAUSE ITS ON ALL-STAR NOT SUPERSTAR BUT STILL NEEDS TO BE FIX BADLY CAUSE PEOPLE JUST BLAZE WITH NO CONTEST AND CONSEQUESE.#2 PLAYER SUBS ON ONLINE PLAY THE COMPUTER TAKES OUT YOUR PLAYERS AUTOMATICLY WHEN U SUB U PUT THEM IN THEY TAKE THEM OUT AND THE SUB SETTING IS ON MANUEL THAT IS FRUSTRATING IF I HAVE MY OPTIONS ON MANUEL THE COMPUTER SHOULD NOT TAKE OUT WHO I WHAT ON THE FLOOR.#3 THEY NEED FATIGUE U NEED TO USE THE BENCH PERIOD AND BE TRIED REALLY THEY NEED THAT.#4 THE OUT OF BOUNDS FACTOR THEY RUN OR BE OUT OF BOUNDS FOR NO REASON WHATS SO EVER.#5 IS THE POST GAME THERE ARE POST MOVES YES BUT IF U WHAT TO RE POST U SHOULD BE ABLE TO #6 TURN DOWN THE STEALS JUST A LITTLE AND THE BLOCKING AND ADJUST TH FOUL CALLING PLEASE THE GAME IS PHYSICAL YES BUT U NEED MORE FOULS CALLED PLEASE CAUSE I BE GETTING HACKED HARD AND NO CALL AND THATS NOT FAIR SOMETIMES.
October 11, 2009 at 6:43 am

October 11, 2009 at 11:31 pm
fluidity of fast breaks could be improved…the guy i pass to always stops instead of catching the ball in stride..

October 13, 2009 at 12:34 am

October 13, 2009 at 3:14 pm
most of the problems that im hearing can be fixed with sliders people. The games that I play do reflect real scores. If you run a real offense you get the results of real scores. if you are the type of player that just runs down the court and takes the first shot then yes scores will be high even if your shooting % is very low because of the amount of attempts your taking. The less you miss shots the slower the computer plays because they cant fast break on you because your defense has the ability to get set.

As for the subs if you adjust the fatigue slider the cpu will sb more often. Timeouts dont come from the cpu unless you develope a good run against them or in a close game at the very end and they are down. So maybe the timeouts can be fixed or just add officials timeouts that the refs take in real life.
As for the post up mechanics I have no issue with the post up mechanics the way they are but I welcome an actual button of course as long as the current configuration isnt changed.
The contact in lanes is my only issue, Even though you can fix the ability to get fouled with sliders, Im afraid the AI wont recognize the sliders and will result in an unrealistic amount of fouls called. What id like to see instead of contact is the ablility to change/alter shots instead of full body contact all of the time. alot of time when I go up in the air im already in a shot motion and someone comes and interrupts it with contact.
Some of the minor but annoying things: For some reason the "performer of the game" is announced well before it should be even in close games they anounce the performer of the game with like 4-5 minutes left and In some cases his team doesnt win. Id like to see that determined once the game is actually decided. When is up to the actual score and time left in the game(i.e 25pt lead with 3min left and all starters taken out/6 pt lead with 1 sec. left losing team no time outs). you get what im saying. Also for some reason and ive actually studied this in the game(pay attention next time you play and youll see what Im saying), starters are taken out at about the 4min mark even in CLOSE games and not brought back in until under 2 min. If its 2:05 left the starters wont come back., If 1:59 left theyll come back. Its annoying because you expect to see kobe in a game like that or wade or lebron yet they are on the bench and the game becomes less challenging to me because Im playing against backups. I control my subs so it doesnt happen with me =D..
Other than that Live 10 is a great game. I unlike most people understand how much time it takes to scrap programming, visuals and start from scratch so alot of little things that they didnt get to like adding legends and my player modes i feel will definately be there next yr. this yr the focus was mostly on delivering realistic gameplay and that they have done a good job of. lets just hope that Live keeps this WINNING formula for years to come.. AUTOBOTS ROLLOUT!!!

king u need to play online my friend and u will know what people are talking about we know u can turn up the sliders yes but for online they have it on all star no fatiuge and the fouls are barely called and the defense does not respond well sometimes so do your math fam peace
October 16, 2009 at 1:31 pm
Oh ok my bad didn't know ppl were talking bout online play..

please add more throwback jerseys there are some good ones that are missing like the purple and black toronto jerseys like the one vince carter wore when he was there.The black and blue magic jerseys with the pinstripes and many more.
October 17, 2009 at 12:02 am
how about draft classes finally, it's the only thing keeping me from buying this game.
October 19, 2009 at 3:49 am
Live 10 is good but got hella glitches now tell me if all yall agree on theses
1. in air collision fouls or lack there of
2. the computer passing to people out of bounds, also computer not starting the offense or backing out to center court and launching threes.
3. Frame rate issues only happens in the miami heat arena anybody else have this issue
4. Suction jump animations
5. real jerky uniform movement
6. players running threw other player rather than around them or into them
and these are just off the top off my head anybody else got these problems ?

Tip Jams Tip jams rebound dunks put back slams !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
October 21, 2009 at 1:49 am
live is great dis year i took my 2k back jus to get it… but jus fix the foul colisions and fast breaks ..put sum dunk on animations and change the way the player loses the ball everytime he drives to the rack then live would be great..and have point guards like russel westbrook n stephen curry dunk..all they do is lay up
October 22, 2009 at 1:56 am
computer subs when online… even when i have manual subs on
October 25, 2009 at 12:21 pm
i still am having a little trouble with rebounding, my man would sometimes be the first to jump for the rebound or be the only one near the basket for a split second and the other team would come down with the rebound. i also have trouble with the other team making three's like there was nobody in front of them
October 28, 2009 at 3:59 am
The fade aways!!! I should not have to come to a complete stop everytime to shoot a regular jumper. It seems as if everytime i'm running with the ball at an angle my player pulls a fade away jumper. At first I thought it was because I was holding down the turbo button, but that's not the case. I'm also having problems getting a layup. I get hacked 90% of the time. This game is GREAT!!! To me it feels that small things like this just make it harder.
October 30, 2009 at 2:47 am
I love live and it has vastly inproved from last year. Is it just me or does it seem that players loose the ball a little to easy when they drive to the basket. I understand that they are trying to make the game more realistic and stop people from just driving to the basket every possession. But, there is no way that Derrick Rose should be getting ripped by Eric Dampier when he drive. Blocked may be, but ripped no. Sometimes players will be out of bounds when you throw them the ball. I think newer commentary should be added. Steve and Marv have had the same lines for i don't know how many years now. The stat layout could be better to. For instance, if someone is fouled there is no prompt to tell you how many fouls the person who committed the foul has. When are we gonna get all the possile uniforms.
October 30, 2009 at 2:58 am
i have that same complaint, glad to see i'm not theonly one to notice that.
October 30, 2009 at 8:07 am
change jameer nelsons jump shot back to how it was…this kills the game for me and all magic fans. thats not the way he releases his shot. if people complain about him just lower his percentage not the way he shots. please give nelson his iriginal release shot back, thank u.
October 30, 2009 at 1:45 pm
as of now, the game is great.. wat i wanna see changed is defensive controls should b more adapt to stay wit the ball handler, online 3pt shooting shouldnt b so damn easy, and a couple of more quick strike moves… other than that, its a great game…
October 30, 2009 at 1:47 pm
to drill down on this, i think wat u mean is patch the problem of when man run the baseline he shouldnt run out of bounds wen he curls to the 3pt line…
October 30, 2009 at 1:48 pm
i think thsy should also add a baseline mid camera view where ass u can see the whole court..

I have loyally bought nba live since 96 for computer and I am liking what I see in 10. I wish we could play shorter dynasty seasons like the 28 game dynasty or 56 games. also with the live updates when will the ratings change to match actual players?
